"You’re not the only one refusing to back down."
"I mean we could but I don’t think cousins get covered on your medical."
"Fine then. We'll say you're my sister."
Cas’s expression tightened a little. Damn, stubborn humans.
“If your arm isn’t working, you should go home,” he said. He felt as if he’d said this and variations of this a million times tonight. Some of the streetlights began flickering. He turned to them, knowing that he was running out of time. He needed to get her out of here, now.
“Please,” he said, a little bit of a desperate undertone in the word. He didn’t know what else he was supposed to do. He couldn’t fly her away; he’d come here for a reason. Running away would be counter-productive, even if it was to save someone.
"Hell to the no," She scoffed. "I can handle just about anything. You remember on the news when they talked about a civilian kicking the shit out of M.O.D.O.K. last year? That was me." Okay, so that was a lie, she'd just coached the girl through it, as her leg had been broken, but she had clocked Magneto once.
She pulled her old vaporizer gun (which she had gotten totally legally) out of its holster and readied herself. "I'll do backup, if you're so worried."
ha h ha i have more followers on here than my person al...... ..
Cas hadn’t wanted anyone other than himself involved in this, but this girl had just been in the wrong place at the wrong time and then she’d insisted that she help him. He’d notice that she had a prosthetic immediately, and he figured that if it was broken she’d leave. He’d reached out with his grace and broken it so slightly that it could be mistaken for a technical malfunction instead of sabatoge, but she was still insisting while Cas was insisting that he didn’t know anyone so that she would go to find someone on her own.
After all, these were angels that he was about to be dealing with.
He got an idea.
“I can give you a phone number,” he said. Dean was good with mechanics, and he was nowhere near here. The girl would have to leave to get his help, and hopefully she would be gone long enough that Cas could finish his work.
"You know what, screw this," The blonde knew the dude was stalling for time, trying to get her out of there, but her arm didn't just malfunction like that, and if there were more supervillains in town than S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files had listed, well, she didn't want to be collateral damage.
She prised a panel off of the arm and pulled out a few wires, effectively making it useless until she could get to someone who knew their way around advanced prosthetics, like Tony Stark or that Parker kid.
"Let's go."
” a kid.
lady i’m rounding thirty. and seeing as how my friend made it, i’d say i’m takin’ it back. and i say you’re not using it. ”
"You're a kid until you've served. And you? You are not ex-military of any kind. Ugh, fine, take it. But we're coming up with a plan first."
"I didn’t eat your ice cream.. it’s soy.. nobody likes soy."
"The carton is literally in your hand. And soy is the best, you godless heathen."
"Stop stealing my stuff and I’ll stop eating your soy ice cream." Wow, real mature.
"You started it." She may be a fully grown woman, but she would not stand for her ice cream being eaten.
"I wish i did , would a doctor help ?"
"Only if they were a doctor of engineering, so, not the kind of doctor you're thinking of. Metal arms aren't exactly in your standard medical training."
fake!married is the best trope and i never tire of it no matter how many are written and how badly they end up being. undercover!married is even better. “we have to lull our adversary into complacency by being as MARRIED AS POSSIBLE.”
You looked pretty buff for a junkie, I have to tell you.
Breaking news: The D.C. Appeals Court just killed Net Neutrality. This could be the end of the Internet as we know it. But it doesn’t have to be. Tell the FCC to restore Net Neutrality: http://bit.ly/1iOOjoe
they want to make the internet like tv. with channels and paying to get to specific websites and things. net neutrality = not doing that
This impacts every internet user. Please signal boost the hell out of this and sign the petition if you are American
I do not reblog things like this very often, but this affects me both personally and my business as a freelance artist.
In the economy here; cash is already strapped as it is. You bet your ass companies would suck the ever living life out of misc. art sites.
I don’t want it to ever come down to me choosing between groceries or purchasing a new tier package via comcast to be able to access tumblr or DeviantArt (let alone not guaranteeing I’ll even be seen by my customer base since they may not want to pay out their asses either). It doesn’t seem important to most, but I do 90% of my business online entirely.
Please sign up, fight for this and share it with your followers/friends/family and urge them to give them hell as well.
Not writing related, but this is incredibly important. While we pay for service via ISPs, the internet has been a relatively free space where everyone, no matter their income level, is able to connect, access a wealth of information, and express themselves. The Internet has become a major part of our culture as human beings and the notion that ISPs might be able to limit what sites I can access unless I pay them more is utterly sickening. A lot of us are cash strapped as is, and I’d rather not be limited even more by someone else’s greed. Net Neutrality is essential and I hope you guys will understand why it needs to remain.

P.S. Signal boost this if you’re able.
“ limit what sites I can access unless I pay them more”

As I understand this ruling, it means that businesses now have to pay extra to ISPs to have access to their websites through that ISP provided at a reasonable speed. If you don’t pay, users’ access to your website will be slowed to a crawl - so independent people and small businesses can forget about getting onto that high speed access tier.
This means that the American internet is going to be firmly under the control of those who have the most money. You’ll only get to see the content of those who can pay the ISPs to provide access at a reasonable speed. This means that you can expect to see skewed representation of just about everything, with those bigger businesses who can afford to pay ISPs a premium for access deciding what you can and cannot read, view and consume on the internet.
This is not something that we have in the UK. Our ISPs compete with each other to provide higher speeds, better services and lower prices, but because there’s a monopoly in the US of a few ISPs who provide services, they can afford to do this to you. You can’t go anywhere else, after all.
Everyone in the US needs to sign that petition, call their representatives, write angry letters and do whatever you can to tell your government that this ruling is Not Okay.
"Before today I never thought of you two having sex at all... It was a simpler time."
”I had sex?!”
”I… have absolutely no idea.”
”Wow, so this is how one-night stands feel like… I kinda like it..”
"Aw, Peter’s finally all grown up!"
”What can I say, I’m a late bloomer.”
"Now that you're officially an adult, we're going out for ice cream and strippers, or just getting pushpops from the gas station because I'm lazy and broke."
To the sweat run down my american balls

the-stevengrantrogers Figured you could use a laugh :)
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it sounds illegal.” ((I love these sentence starters!!))
"Maybe here, yes, but not where I come from."
"Aw to hell with it, can I help? This week's been boring."
"That looked easier on TV."
”I’M DOING IT!”
"Damn you and your stupid science-logic."
”In the immortal words of Jesse Pinkman; SCIENCE, BITCH!”
"Hell yes."
